DH and I took a class today with Elsie Campbell on hand quilting. We
used Hobbs wool batting. Anyone in North Texas know of a store that
carries it? If not, anyone know of a reputable online store who carries
it? I have tried Quilt Country in Lewisville (where we took our class),
Cabbage Rose in Fort Worth and Peachtree Quilts here in Weatherford. It
worked really well for hand quilting and my stitches came out even and
small!

NAYY, but I remembered when I took a class from Harriet Hargrave earlier
this year that she sells wool batting. Here is her website:
http://harriethargrave.com/products_show.asp?cat=batting I wouldn't have
any problem ordering from her - she has a great reputation & I'm sure would
not do anything to jeopardize it.

Do a google search for "hobbs wool batting"
I got just a bit over 200 result hits with online stores that sell.


This blurp from http://www.hobbsbondedfibers.com/craft.html which is
located in Waco, TX
If you are a consumer looking for your favorite Hobbs products we recommend
calling your favorite quilt shop, craft store or fabric retailer and ask for
it by name. If they do not stock what you are looking for, ask them to order
it for you. If you are unable to find Hobbs products locally, you may order
from various mail order resources or give us a call at (254) 741-0040 and
ask for the customer service department.
It is our desire to provide quilters with the best products available.
Thank you for selecting Hobbs!

Good luck

Ann

If you liked Hobbs, try to find the "original" wool batting
from Australia - Nu-Wool or Matilda's Own. Both fabulous to
work with and all we ever use here. I know Hancock's used
to have Matilda's at least. You can get them in dark grey
too.

I've used Matilda's Own wool batting and it was wonderful. I ordered it on
line from King's Men Quilting Supply. They have the best prices I
found anywhere and very good customer service.

I have no connection with King's Men other than being a very satisfied
customer.
